{"product_id":"short-rackable-barbell","title":"Short Rackable Barbell","description":"\u003cp\u003eSo your home gym space is limited. Tight room. Low ceiling. Half a garage stall. Compact flat. And somehow you're still trying to squeeze in a full 86.5\" Olympic bar like it's going to magically shrink at setup time? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChild, please.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the bar for the rest of us. 69” (175 cm) of Olympic shaft. 17” (43 cm) saved. 900 lbs \/ 408 kg of static capacity. And yes — it still RACKS — up to 49 inches inside width. That’s the B.o.S. line-up of 60mm racks, Hydra, and Manticore. Oh, and if you have one of the matching racks from our \u003ci\u003eBFFs\u003c\/i\u003e, that works too. \u003ci\u003e*sly wink*\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSame 28.5 mm shaft as the best-selling \u003ca href=\"\/products\/multi-purpose-barbell\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMulti-Purpose Utility Bar\u003c\/a\u003e. 150,000 PSI tensile steel. Black zinc on the shaft, black zinc on the sleeves — one matched finish, end to end. Bushings and snap rings keep the sleeves spinning quiet and predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDual IPF and IWF knurl marks mean it works for squats, presses, and pulls without picking sides. Centre knurl, too — most short bars skip it. We didn't. Light knurl pressure for daily training (no shredded palms after week one).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4.9 \/ 5 across the reviews. The most repeated phrase in those reviews is some version of \"finally, a bar that fits.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo-person home gyms. Narrow racks. Basements with low ceilings. Garage gyms that still function as actual garages. This is the bar people put in those spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf rackability isn’t a big deal to you, and you want more sleeve length, check out the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/short-barbell\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eShort Utility Bar\u003c\/a\u003e.
